Sai Mota was a Hunter in a fireteam led by Eris Morn tasked with the assassination of Crota. She and everyone else in the fireteam died except for Eris. The temple of Crota began to drain the light of those in the fireteam, including Mota, Eriana-3, and their respective ghosts. The two resolved to continue into the temple regardless, chasing the Hand of Crota. In the chaos of their defeat, she almost managed to escape, but was killed by Omnigul.
